Wall To Kitchen Garden At Sutton Park

The kitchen garden wall at Sutton Park dates from the 18th century and is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond with a flat stone coping. It encloses a trapezoidal garden with a curved north-west corner at the junction of Main Street and York Road. The wall is approximately 3 metres high and features stepped brick pilaster buttresses at regular intervals, which are closer together on the outside face and very broad on the inside face of the eastern wall. The southern wall is designed as a heated wall with flues, and it has attached greenhouses (which are not of special interest) and single-storey bothies with lean-to pantile roofs. There is a round-arched entrance near the centre of this wall, a full height opening at its west end, and a cambered-arched entrance at its east end. The east wall ramps up to the north of the centre, near the ice house, where it has brick-on-edge coping.
